Have a family calendar (and keep it updated)! As with many other families, we have busy lives! My husband and I work full-time, so some days we have babysitters and this calendar helps them as well!  My kids are learning as well, to check the calendar and then they also remind me to update it or make sure to let me know when I have something wrong 😉

I have a monthly, magnetic, dry erase calendar, that I have in our kitchen but out of reach of little hands. This helps our family a lot … and  I can always use the excuse with my husband “it’s on the calendar, you should have remembered” 🙂
